[vox] [OT] Alternate Vehicle Advice

[Jimbo]

The Toyota Prius is enviro friendly which uses both electric and gas motors. 
The electric motor reverts to a generator to charge up the battery. No need 
to plug it in.  They say that you can get up to 65 mpg on fwy.  Not a lot of 
power but if you are not into racing your buddies or towing then this is a 
good car for low gas consumption.

Out of your price range though.  Prius hits 20 grand.
